Options for calls and SMS abroad
Among the services offered for roaming abroad, MTS has developed several advantageous offers. Options for calls and messages include the following:
- Zero without borders.
- Free travel.
- Outgoing calls from 19.9 rubles.
- SMS package.
In addition, there are services that will reduce traffic costs abroad. Of course, the cost of traffic abroad will differ significantly from the basic Internet tariff on your home network, but without the connected option, the prices will be even higher. Now we need to consider each offer from MTS in more detail.
Zero without limits
will not work if the user is in Russia. In other words, the service will be activated only after switching to international roaming, and the connection is carried out in the CIS countries. The service is intended for communication only. Other mobile services, in the form of messages and the Internet, will be provided at standard prices.
The optional subscription fee will be 95 rubles. Funds are written off every day, but for this money there will be the following advantages:
- An outgoing call for the first minute will cost the cost provided by the host country, and starting from the second and up to the 5th minute, the payment will be 25 rubles per minute. Subsequent tariffs will be according to the prices of the host country.
- As for incoming calls, calls will not be charged for up to 10 minutes, and then the payment will be 25 rubles per minute.
There are certain restrictions that need to be taken into account:
- You are credited with 200 free minutes per month for making calls. If the limit runs out, then payment for incoming calls will be 25 rubles for each minute of communication.
- To check the balance of free minutes you need to use the code *419*1233#.
If you are satisfied with the offer, then you can safely connect it, use the following methods:
- Use combinations *111*4444# or *444#. These requests can only be used within Russia.
- You can also connect the option via SMS to number 111, code 33 is indicated in the body of the letter. The connection method is suitable for anywhere in the world, but the tariff will be according to the prices of the host country; in Russia there is no charge for SMS.
- The last connection method is to use your personal account on the MTS website.
If the service has become unnecessary, it can be disabled as follows:
- An SMS is sent to 111, with the code 330 indicated in the body of the letter.
- You can use your personal account for quick deactivation.
- A service request is sent *111*4444#.
Disabling is necessary upon returning home so that the subscription fee is not charged.
Free travel
This option will allow you to call any number in Russia, as well as receive calls in international roaming completely free of charge, starting from the first minutes of communication. According to the terms of the service, clients have the opportunity to use 60 minutes per day to make calls to Russia and receive incoming referrals while in another country. If the limit is exhausted, then you will have to pay 10 rubles every minute. You can find out the list of countries in which Free Travel will operate on the MTS website.
Tariff "Green" Tele2
Tariff plans of the discount operator Tele2 are designed for a wide variety of audiences. For example, the operator has package tariffs that include calls, SMS and Internet traffic. There are also offers without a monthly fee - here all services are paid as they are spent, which is very beneficial for economical Tele2 subscribers. Another category is tariff plans designed for those who need to make long-distance calls or even abroad.
A typical representative of this category is the “Green” tariff from Tele2, focused on calls to distant Uzbekistan and some other countries at competitive rates. But that’s not all – here we are offered extremely cheap local calls to Tele2 numbers. Let's look at this proposal in more detail.
Internet option “Bit Abroad” MTS
If a subscriber, going abroad, plans to actively use the Internet there, then MTS recommends connecting one of the following options to the main tariff:
- "BIT Abroad" is designed for social networks and email. 100 MB per day is provided at maximum speed and then unlimited at 128 kbps. Cost 450 rubles per day . You can connect or disconnect *111*2222#. In the countries: Moldova, Uzbekistan, Herzegovina 30 MB and 550 rubles/day.
- “Maxi BIT”, in addition to, has the ability to use maps and navigation. 200 MB per day is provided at maximum speed and then unlimited at 128 kbps. Cost 700 rubles per day . You can connect or disconnect *111*2223#. In the countries: Moldova, Uzbekistan, Herzegovina 70 MB and 1000 rubles/day.
Description of the “Green” tariff Tele2
The Green tariff plan from Tele2 will be beneficial to two categories of subscribers:
- Economical - most often making calls within the network;
- Visitors from Uzbekistan and some other countries who want to have reliable and inexpensive connections with their homeland.
If you belong to these categories of subscribers, this Green tariff will be a truly profitable and interesting offer for you. The “Green” tariff does not contain a subscription fee and assumes per-minute billing for calls. There are no packages of minutes, SMS or Internet traffic provided here. But there are inexpensive on-net calls - the first minute costs 45 kopecks, all subsequent minutes are free.
This tariff applies to all local calls to Tele2 subscribers. As for calls to numbers of other local mobile and landline operators, they are charged at 0.95 rubles per minute.
But calls to all-Russian Tele2 numbers will cost us 2 rubles per minute - also not very expensive.
Calls within Russian intercity – 4.9 rubles/min.
What is the cost of sending SMS and MMS on the Green tariff? Sending an SMS to local numbers will cost subscribers 1.5 rubles, to other Russian numbers – 2.5 rubles, sending an MMS costs 6 rubles. But sending an SMS abroad will cost 3.40 rubles, which is slightly less than other tariffs.
International calls should be discussed separately. We have already pointed out inexpensive calls to Uzbekistan. But the list of countries with reduced call costs does not end there. Look below:
- Calls to Uzbekistan – 4.90 rubles/min;
- Calls to Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan – 12 rubles/min;
- Calls to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan – 7.5 rubles/min;
- Calls to other CIS countries – 30 rubles/min;
- Calls to the Baltic countries and Europe – 49 rubles/min;
- Calls to other countries of the world – 69 rubles/min.
International communications with the countries closest to us are indeed very profitable.
